After you do that you'll be able to make a link to that page by writing <nowiki>[[ABC123_Subject1]]</nowiki> in another page. Since I've done it already for this course, here's what it looks like:
[[ABC123_Subject1]]
So far we've gone through the normal wiki process for creating a page. Here's where we'll do something different. Instead of adding your content to [[ABC123_Subject1]] - we'll make that page redirect. The idea is that <nowiki>[[ABC123_Subject1]]</nowiki> will redirect to whatever the current version of Subject1 is.
Now you'll have to decide how to separate the different versions of the material. Some suggestions are:
* Make a new version every semester, whether there are major updates or not. This may be quite a bit of extra work because you'll have to create a new version of every page in your course every semester.
* Make a new version every time there's a major update to the subject for that page. This is much less work than the option above, but you risk forgetting what older versions are available, especially if you don't use numbers for the versions. This is what I do, and I'll explain below how I deal with that problem.
Now you're almost ready to put your content up. Create a new page with a name based on your "index" page. In my example I will make <nowiki>[[ABC123_Subject1]]</nowiki> redirect to <nowiki>[[ABC123_Subject1_Technology1]]</nowiki> - this because I will version my subject pages based on the technology I'm using that semester.

Let's walk through what happens when I want to create another version of the Subject1 page because I update the
